Hi, I really need to your help. I bought a JBL soundbar which only has 1 Hdmi port. I am using my laptop to connect to my projector which uses a Hdmi cable aswell. The problem is that my laptop also only has 1 port which is connected to the projector. So with that said, how do I get the soundbar connected to the laptop? Do I need to buy an Hdmi splitter? In which the soundbar and projector will be connected which will ideally br connected to my laptop? Will it work? Your feedback will be most appreciated. With thanks! :)

hi thanks for this video. I got a optoma ep719r projector from a charity shop. i paid £40 for it. i have a fairly new HP laptop so i bought a HDMI to VGA adapter and hooked it up as you instructed. however nothing seems to be happening... the projector turns on and projects the home screen of the projector but no image from my laptop is coming thru. am i doing something wrong? the instruction manual says that the projector will detect your laptop automatically... would really appreciate any help. also none of the buttons on the projector (hardware) seem to do anything. many thanks

@CandidTechTV 2 года назад

Hmm there's no "source" option to select on the projector? A lot of them you can change the inputs and would be able to select "VGA" or "HDMI" then.

@hugovasquez3644 2 года назад

Hope someone can help. I'm trying to mirror my laptop screen to a TV monitor and an Epson projector. I have an hdmi splitter with two outputs and the single input for my laptop. I will connect the laptop and then I connect the TV and it works, but when I also connect the projector. It won't work. I've tried flipping the order as well. I'll plug in the projector first and sure enough it works, but the moment I plug in the hdmi for the TV, the projector loses signal. What can I do to fix this? Maybe the splitter isn't good enough?

Hey thanks for the video ! Sorry if I missed it but I have a projector with one HDMI port and I want to use both a PS5 and and sound bar at the same time .. is that possible ?

@CandidTechTV 5 месяцев назад

You can hook up the PS5 by HDMI and then hook up via the 3.5mm jack/aux cord to your sound bar for no latency. You can also use Bluetooth for the soundboard if your projector has it or add a Bluetooth transmitter but that will have some audio lag for video/games.

Hey man! Great video and very clear content! I have a question regarding connecting Bluetooth projector with the device, an iPhone or an Apple laptop. In your experience, are you still able to Stream movie services from your device to a bluetooth laser projector? I was able to stream the service Binge for sometime and they seem to have blocked that capability of being able to watch it through projector. Just trying to find my way around through the system. Any help would be appreciated!

@CandidTechTV 9 месяцев назад

So the Bluetooth will only do audio, the copyright restrictions will unfortunately still block that app from playing. If you can get that app on a Fire Stick, Roku, etc then that is always the easiest option for streaming.

help connecting a bose/bluetooth speaker to projector with a Bluetooth transmitter/reciever?

@CandidTechTV 2 года назад

plug the transmitter into the projector and set it to "tx or transmit" mode. Set your speaker to pairing mode where it flashes and looks for a connection. Also set the transmitter into pairing mode (Which it will probably do by default when you first turn it on). They should find each other and connect automatically as long as they are both simulataneously in pairing mode.

@mcneillkm 2 года назад

I have 2 hdmi ports on my projector. However, my Yamaha surround sound system is older and does NOT have an hdmi port. I am using one port on my projector for my firestick for streaming. I have a great video picture, but How do I get audio out of my projector?

@CandidTechTV 2 года назад

So your Firestick should have built in Bluetooth in the settings. And then you can hook up a BT transmitter to your speakers by the inputs and should be able to transmit the sound wirelessly that way. Here's a video on the transmitter. You would be hooking it up to your speaker on the receiver mode to pick up the sound from your Firestick: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yvIWYPXdLsY.html Then you'd get one like this (affiliate link): amzn.to/3jYX46j

@mcneillkm 2 года назад

@@CandidTechTV Okay, just want to be clear...I get my firestick to recognize this BT device, then I plug the Aux connector into that device and hook up the red (audio) connector to the front of my Yamaha tuner. Is that correct?

@CandidTechTV 2 года назад

@@mcneillkm Yes, that is correct. You would then just put your tuner to that input and you should hear it coming through. In my experience, the latency with BT 5.0 and above devices has not been noticeable with video and works well. You would just put the transmitter you buy into pairing mode and then find it with your Firestick like you said.

If the TV had an HDMI Out that would be possible but most are usually only inputs so that probably wouldn't work. You could always just buy a Fire Stick or something like that though and get all your apps that way.

@Steph-wq9it 2 года назад

How would you connect up to a projector with, let’s say 1 computer, an iPad & an iPhone, so you can flick from one to the next, with smooth transitions & not altering the screen ratio. When doing a presentation in church on a projector screen via computer, but other videos etc on other devices. I’ve heard a switcher mentioned, but don’t understand. Please help thank you 🙏

@CandidTechTV 2 года назад

Yes, that's what I was going to mention, an HDMI switcher. If you're doing 4k content, you're going to want one that for sure supports 4k like this kind - this one actually has a remote too (affiliate: amzn.to/3vX59gU). You then would just hook up HDMIs between your devices and this converter (your input one would go to the projector). You would just need a special one for your iPhone like this (affiliate: amzn.to/314TwJm). There are generic ones too.

Try looking into the sound settings of your device you have hooked up and change it off Dolby if that's the case (maybe try this first).

Brothers and Sisters, don't be satisfied with where you are spiritually. We all can do something to improve our relationship with the Lord. We can do more praying, or studying, or just get rid of that certain thing that's slowing you down from having a more complete relationship with your Lord. You have to be determined to get as close as you can to God Almighty. When we are content with where we are, sometimes there is a tendency to get a little lazy, and not worship God like we use to do. So I'm asking all of you to do the very best that you can to improve your relationship with the Lord. I'm praying that God will continue to bless you all. ✍🏽Blanche Munia
